Chnrnulorixini; the defense of the un
ion men on trial in the federal court
here for illegnlly transporting dynn
mitt ns n "bundle of lie nnd expla
nations which do nut explain," Sr
cial Assistant United State District
Attorney Xoel opened today the
government's case against the lic
ensed men. Xe eluded the defence
for not sending Olaf A. Tveilmoe and
K. A. Clancy of San Francisco, and
other defcndnnls to the stand, as
serting the defense ntturneys knew
these men could not make ntifac
tory answer to the gmemmcnfs
charge.
Itldlculo Defendants' Claim
Xoel ridiculed the claim that the
defendants had not noticed (he union
hooks nnd were not nwnre of the
fact that John J. McXnmnra was
hjcndfng $1,000 n month. Ho declar
ed that JlcNumarn did not net nlune,
nnd traced II. S. IIocMn's affiliations
with Ihe other defendants.
The government's arguments nil!
continue four days.
Xoel followed the details of the al
leged conspiracy in nn effort to con
nect the various defendants.
"I am not here," haid Xoel. "to
consider whether the war against
capital was just or unjust, hut only
whether the law hns been violated.
Since the arrest of the McXuraar.x
brothers there hns been only one ex
plosion on structural steel work iu
the United States. We have tdiorru
that ninety-two dynamiting occur
red between the years 1905 nnd
1911."

John Duller of Ituffalo, vice pre':

ter his bond had been increased from
$10,000 to $15,000 for alleged per

Duller had testified yesterday, Judge
Anderson scathingly arraigned what
he termed "a display that has tu'tcn
place here in in the last two weeks."
'ThU man Dutler," the court add
ed, "swore to things that he knew
were untrue, nnd everybody hete
knew he Was committing perjury."
Dutler denied knowledge that the
union appropriated $1,000 n month
to John J. McXninaru, which, the
government charges, was used to de
fray tho dynamiters expenses.
"There must bo such n thing as

"when n convention will rine, face

The ' Hose Mnlden," produced last
night at the Natatorlum, was In every
way a splendid success. The crowd
was unusually good, and very appre
ciative. This Is the first successful
attempt In Bedford at producing can
tata or oratorio. With tho musical
talent of Medford, It Is to be re
gretted that a largo chorus has not
been orgauUcd before for this class
of music, as It Is very Instructive
to local singers, and Is an education
along the llnu of sacred music, which
Is an essential to the higher grade of
church and school music.
Tim chorus numbered about forty-five,
and the local orchestra, while
not large, did very good work. Mr.
Talllandlcr, the director, deserves
credit for what he Is doing In a
musical way for Medford, and It Is to
be hoped that his next chorus, which
is to be organlxod Immediately after
the holldajs, will number a hundred
singers. Mr. Talllandlcr generously
gives hi services and music free, re
quiring a small fee of two dollars
from each member, which Is, how
ever, returned ai mo enu or ine
term, provided the parties have given
regular attendance. A good portion
of the chorus last evening was from
Central Point, and local singers In
terested In music feel very grateful
to the Central Point contingent.
"The Rose Maiden" Is a very tune
ful work, perhaps the most popular
of Its class. The composer, Fred
erick II. Co wen, was born In Jamlca,
of English parents. At a very early
age, he was sent. to London, where ho
studied In the Itoyal Conservatory,
and afterward In I.elpslc. Ho has
written two or three operas, but none
of them was very successful. Ho Is
best known for his cantatas, songs
and symphonies. He took tho place
of Sir Arthur Sullivan as director of
the London Philharmonic society, a
position which ho still holds.
Musical works tike "The Hose
Maiden" require a chorus of at least
ono hundred voices, for tho reason
that there Is a lack of dramatic In
tensity found in opera, making tho
success of tho work depend upon
volume ot tono. Thero Is no reason
why Medford should not have a cho
rus of this sixe, which could bo used
to splendid advantage In connection
with stars like Schumann-Hclnk'and
Gadskl, who mako annual visits to
our city. Mr. Talllandler has made
a success, financially and artistical
ly, of tho Medford Conservatory of
Music, and local singers should en
co ura go him with an attendnnco at
behearsats which wilt start Immed
iately after tho holidays.
Tho leading parts In "The Rose
Maiden" were well sung by local
singers of Medford and Central
Point. Tho list Is too long to mako
personal mention, but suffice It to
say that "Tho Rose Maiden" as n
whole was a perfect success.

TO THOSE WHO
HAVE NO PIANO
I haw a statement of most uniiHual
Interest to make Such u state
ment has never been made bcfon In
Medford, and I don't think it combi
nation of circumstance will eer
arlso to mako necessary such an of
fer again.
1 havo to sell nlmost a rarload of
tho highest priced Chlckorlng, Weber.
Lester, Kimball and Smith & llarues
pianos, ptanoln pianos ami auto
pianos, and tho now famous Dunga
low player piano. My regular dut
ies demand my return to Portland by
tho end of tho week. It I boxed up
tho pianos and shipped them back to
tho factories, or to Portland, It ould
mean added expense, lots ot It, and
the pianos would still have to bo sold.
So I havo decided to close out the
pianos right hero. I will take tho
manufacturers' cost for each and
every one nnd In some cases a little
less, but I must do business right
away.
Who wants one of theso fine baby
grands? (tOS buys one. And the
fancy, genuine figured mahogany
stylo costs ISO more.
A splendid Kimball piano In ben
t If til mahogany case. Thcao pianos
cost 1400 nnd ?I2'. for these largo
fancy sizes. I will take IKl CO for
this one, If taken right away. Home
of tho less oxpouslvti plnuos for n
song. The highest priced )70U and
$SCu Pianola Pianos, I will take
SJ2C for them.
This Is a stock of pianos that hn
been locked up In the Art Store liti
gation Tho creditors have no claim
on thex'o pianos 1 must sell them
and send tho proceeds to our house
and to tho manufacturers. I would
prefer to bring In tho cash, of course,
but those who are not prepared on
tho spur of tho moment to pay the
cash can havo any piano by making
a small first payment In cash, and
tho balanco as best suits circum
stances. Wo will glvo one, two and
three year's time, or sell on ono dol
lar or a dollar and a half weekly pay
ments, whichever way Is most con
venient. Tho paymouts can bo made
to nn authorized agent hero In t6wn,
who will also see to It that ov'ory in
strument sold gives thorough satis
faction. Kvcry Instrument In this
sale Is positively guaranteed, Just as
though It werosold for tho regular
retail price. These uro now Instru
ments with tho exception of ono
which has been routed for a short
tlmo.
If It had not been for tho peculiar
commercial ontunglomonts surround
ing this failure thoso Instruments
would nuvor havo been obtainable at
such a sacrifice. A chancu to buy
to such advantago will not come
agulu, sou these Instruments right
